CMSC Gateway Warning!
If you started UMBC for the first time in
Summer 1998 or later you are under the
“CMSC Gateway” and must complete CMSC
201 and CMSC 202 with a grade of B or
better. Because of the registrar’s rules
regarding class sequences, students who
received a C in CMSC 201 must retake
CMSC 201 before taking CMSC 202. If you
choose not to retake CMSC 201 or do not
retake it before taking CMSC 202, you
cannot graduate as a computer science
major.
